Professor Green: 'I'm in talks with Slipknot for collaboration'

Professor Green has revealed that he may work with heavy-metal rock band Slipknot in the near future.

The At Your Inconvenience rapper, who has previously collaborated with the likes of Lily Allen and Example, said that he has invited DJ Sid Wilson to send him a demo.

Green told The Sun: "Collaborations come up naturally - I don't try to force anything. We met Sid Wilson, the DJ from Slipknot, out here. He told me he was a big fan. How mental is that? So we were talking and he's going to send some stuff over.

"I want to get in with Raf Rundell from The 2 Bears as I love the album. I actually just reached out and said 'I f**king love your album and I'd love to do some stuff', so hopefully that will happen."

The 28-year-old also teased more collaborations with Emeli Sandé, saying: "I've been starting on some new songs with Emeli. She's amazing to work with. We've already started on a couple more bits for my next album which I want out next March or April.

"Collaborations are like a relationship. You can meet someone you're attracted to, end up in bed but you might not be compatible. Putting two artists in a studio doesn't mean it will work. You have to work it out first."
